Summary

There are opportunities to maintain and develop endoscopic practice, with support for service development and innovation. We welcome applicants who are keen to contribute to quality improvement and future service growth. The department has a track record of mentoring and training in procedures in which new appointees are not yet fully competent (including for previous consultants: EUS, ERCP, VCE and large polypectomy/EMR who all had supervised clinical activity which converted into service activity when they were fully trained) with opportunities to contribute to the endoscopy academy and BCSP if desired. Links are also present with the newly established Three Counties Medical School based at Worcester University and this could be developed further in Gastroenterology. Most specialist interests can be accommodated including hepatology. Expertise in nutrition would be particularly beneficial. This job description, together with the job plan, will be reviewed annually and agreed with the Clinical Director and Divisional Director, on behalf of the Chief Medical Officer, to ensure that it continually reflects the areas of work, clinical responsibility of the post and purchaser requirements. A suitably experienced post-holder will be expected to provide a clinical service in the relevant specialty to patients of the Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust and to General Practitioners. The post-holder will be expected to provide a service to patients of the Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust, General Practitioners and to attend multi-disciplinary meetings. The successful candidate will be expected to work within multi-disciplinary teams in providing high quality clinical care. It is anticipated work will be undertaken on three sites and closer to the patients home. The Trust is seeking to extend services to GP surgeries/health centres etc and job plans may be revised in due course. The post-holder will provide support to the A&E department and acute medicine to ensure timely appropriate care and patient flow through the hospital. The post-holder will provide consultation and advisory service to clinical colleagues in the Trust and Primary Care.
